To Backache

Author: sonofadam

To Backache

My curse upon your seething blight
keeping me from a restful night,
persistent as any nagging wife
the scourge of any good man’s life!

Yet my cursing I feel goes astray
as the pain persists through the day,
like Burns’s toothache had him raving
in the air my words are scathing!

If at night this ache could keep
I would get a good night’s sleep,
then awaken to a new day’s pain
to start my cursing ways again!
